KOAI- - ?RIKCES COME TO BLOWS. S Two brothers Settle Their Little Difference With Their Fists. New York, April 7.--The World's Dresden cable says: . Court circles aro enjoying a m scandal the little principality of Prince Leopold, brotjier of tho reigning sovereign, Pnu.ee Charles, has removed all his pos- sesion from the palaco where he has been living for years and taken lodging at a, hotel. Hitherto tho two princes, who are both Prussian generals, respec-tively 68 and 58 years old, have been great chums, their intimacy even going so far as to includo keeping a small harem on equal shares in the matter of expenses. ', Prince Charles, although married, is childless, and Prince Leopold, being a bachelor, recently decided for state reasons that he had better marry. Two or three Sundays ago tho two princes talked matters over whilo at supper in the Casino club of Sondcrshauseu. Leopold demanded that iu ease of his marriage his allowance, $5000 per annum, should be iucreased. The elder prince did not take kindly to the propo-sition, aud said if Leopold could not afford to support a priuccss as his wife he should try to marry a rich Jewess. This offended Prince Leopold and he left the club abruptly and was on the way homo to the castle when ho was overtaken by Prince Charles, who sneeringly repeated his advice. Prince Leopold viciously turned on his brother ; and hit Jhirn in the face. A tistic battle ensued between the brothers. The sen-tries who were pacing the road to the castle did not dare iuterfcre. but some stOI. ...1.... 1 ..l!l-l- : .1- - - iuul,-- ttiniuu nuu, uy niiiujuuig uie reigning prince with their bodies, suc-ceeded in lulling the storm.

Estimates Being Made to Bring the Cost Within the Appro, prlatioa. PEOBABLE RIP0BT T0M0EB0W. Condition of the City Prison and the Health of Its In-mates, When Mayor Scott's incumbency of his municipal office begau, the subject of the proposed new city aud county building, to be erected at tho corner of First South aud First East streets, was ouc of the first things to attract his at-tention. Judging from the plans aud specifications, the mayor entertaiued grave doubts as to tho possibility of completing the buildings at a cot not to exceed tho appropriation, and until ho could satisfy himself ou the matter he deemed it advisable to order all work stopped. Tho excavatiou for the founda-tion had, at this time, been about finished, and since about tho third week iu February there has been nothing further done in the way of work on tho structure. A csll at the mayor's oftlco this morning resulted in ascertaining that tbero are several architects and builders In tho city busy In preparing an estimate of cost which will como within the lOOO,-00- appropriated for the completion of tho structure, 'and it is expected that these estimates will lie submitted to the council committee iu time for the mat- - ter to be brought before tho council to-morrow eveniug. It is not lho,couneil aloue, however, that has the say iu the case. As the proposed building is to be for the joint occupancy of the city aud county offi-cials, tho selectmen of Salt Lake county Mill also have to decide In tho matter, and this latter body has placed the sub-ject in tho hands of a committee, which, It Is eipeeted, will he able to report at an early day after receiving the estimates. To complete the build-ing will require at least a year after actual operations begin, aud in the meantime temporary repairs and alter-ations in the present very inadequate quarters will be all that can be done. The elty prison is In a disgraceful condition. Tho sanitary arrangements are of the most primitive description, and would shame all pretenses to civili-zation. There are no closets, buckets being used instead. These stand for hours filled with filth within the build-ing, and are emptied by - a gang of prisoners. The building itself is a: mere shell. . aud . escapes have frequently orourred- - UU proposed to put in eotne' sheet iron roofing to pre-vent' this," and also to strengthen the window guards; but at best the city must put up 'with inconveniences, bad sanitary arrangements attd Insecurity for pro-hap-s twelve or, fourteen months longer. The health of tbo prisoners now iu the prison Is wonderfully good, MrilJnli r Mnmsl nn.iAS und r)i ratlina provided for them are excellent; but that such a place should be free from vermin is not possible. The marshal, who Is responsible for tho condition of tee city Jail, has done and Is doing all that he can for the comfort and security ef his charges, but with the facilities lit bis command it is beyond his power to mitigate the existing evil.

Special.J Henry Irviug, tho tragedian, will be the Glad-stonia- n candidate for parliament in the first vacancy that occurs in the repre-sentation of a liberal constituency. Irviug has never taken an active part in political affairs and hence his opin-ions on the questions at issue were not publicly known, aud consequently many surmised that on account of his well-know- affiliations that if he should minglcjn political life it would all be in the tciry interest. Some surprise was therefore manifested, when it became knowp that he had cast his fortunes with the party of which Gladstone is the Illustrious leader. ; Irving curbed an earlier ambition for parliamentary honors' in the expectation that the Prince ef Wales wonld secure a knight-hood. for him, but having given up hojies of receiving this preferment, he has concluded to attempt to win fame aud distinction as a law maker! - Great Gold- Excitement.
